Putting On the Ritz - Halliburton Style
Unlike almost anywhere else
in Baghdad, you could dine at the cafeteria in the Republican Palace in the
heart of the Green Zone for six months and never eat hummus, flatbread, or a
lamb kebab. The palace was the headquarters of the Coalition Provisional
Authority (CPA), the American occupation administration in Iraq, and the food
was always American, often with a Southern flavour...Halliburton,
the defence contractor hired to run the palace, brought in dozens of tables,
hundreds of stacking chairs and a score of glass-covered buffets. Seven days a
week, the Americans ate under Saddam's crystal chandeliers.
